| | Setting a start-up page for wireless network I'm helping a friend to set up a wireless network for his small business, using Vista as the main terminal. He's wanting to set it up so that anyone using the wireless network would go to his website when they first log on, instead of their regular homepage. I've seen this at hotels before, so I'm pretty sure that it can be done, I'm just not sure how to set it up. Can this be done with any network, or does it require a specialized router or software? TIA, Jason |

If they're not willing to do that, then they can forget about being able to change the start pages on the wireless devices of their patrons as the patrons will have their own bandwidth via 3G/4G.
